Imported library album cover problems

Ok, on my iMac I spent a lot of time making sure the album covers were the originals (a few are older than most of the folks working for apple). Some I scanned in myself, etc. Anyway, a lot of work went into my album covers.
So now I try to move my library (including covers) to my Dell lap top. I changed the xml file to point to the new library location. The album art work folder has two folders in it, cache and download.
Some album covers show up but some don’t! What is with that? And how do I fix it?
Thanks

When I had my iPod photo, I found that adding the artwork to songs in iTunes, BEFORE adding them to your iPod would make the artwork appear on the iPod screen, but adding the artwork to existing song files already on the iPod was not working.
It's a pain to re-add all your songs, but if you are as anal about your music and iPod management as I am, you'll find it is worth it.
Hope that helps.

Album Cover problem on 160 GB iPod Classic

Ever since I got this iPod I have had an issue with the album covers showing on the iPod. At first they would show fine everywhere, then they just started showing fine in the lists. Once I would click on a track the album cover would look similar to "snow" that is seen on TV when you are not getting a signal. Now, the only things that have covers on the iPod are songs I bought from iTunes, but any of my CD's I imported do not show up at all even though most of them do have covers when I look at the Cover Flow in the iTunes Library. What can be done to fix this issue?

when you turn down the volume on any apple product to "zero" with headphones plugged in, they assume it means you want the minimum audible volume. if you don't want to hear it, unplug your headphones or just don't push play. it's not a malfunction of equipment, it's operator idiocracy.

Ipod album cover problem "An unknown error occurred (-50)

I recently spent a few hours going through amazon and google image search finding album covers to each of my mp3s no purchased through the Itunes store. After I finally got all of them, I went into Itunes options and clicked "display album art" I recieved the error
"The Ipod William Tell cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-50)"
I have unchecked display album art, let it delete whatever was on there, and rechecked it and have recieved the same error.
I've searched around this and other forums and noone has seemed to have this problem with album covers. Any help would be more than greatfully appreciated.

Hi,
I had the same problem and after a search in google i found this:
Solution1
If you are getting the same error I was getting, then the solutions is a quite tedious one. You need to go through your entire library starting at the top.
First make sure the ablum art box in the bottom left of iTunes is set to "selected song" and not "now playing". Now highlight the first song at the top and use the down arrow and look at the album art for each song. I have 4000 songs in my library and I found maybe 3 or 4 album art glitches.
The glitches are those songs that show a blank white box for the album art. Don't mistake this for those songs that just have no art attached. These say "Drag album art here." When you find those few white boxes, simply right click the song and go to "get info" and then the artwork tab. Click the white blank and delete it. That's it.
After you do this you should be able to add artwork to your iPod without the error message. I hope this helps you out. -CK

I have managed to fix this error. I have Windows 2000, but I think it should be OK for any Windows version.
1. Make sure iTunes is closed.
2. Move My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes* (2 files, *.itl, and *.xml) to Desktop
3. Start up iTunes, it will create the two files above.
4. In iTunes: File :: Import...
5. Select .xml instead of text.
6. Select the iTunes Music Library.xml
ITunes stopped complaining.

I had this error as well. Here's how I fixed it.
Apple itunes uses internet explorer (windows version) and therefore uses IE's proxy settings.
If you're behind a proxy you can change your settings to directly connect and then that may fix the problem. (I was using proximitron to filter ads, which went to my local fastnet web accellerator (dial up decompressor) which linked to a remote dialup comrpessor which actually got the internet sites).
Turning that off in IE's settigns (Tools, Options, Connections, Settings, uncheck use proxy) worked for me.
Solution2 worked fine for me

Import to Album Question-Problem with stacking in import images dialog

In trying to group images by creating albums when importing, I ran into an issue. If I used the timeline in the import dialog to create stacks, only the top photo from the stack made it into the album. In other words, if I grouped 100 images into ten stacks, only ten pictures appeared in the album?
Is Aperture supposed to work this way? Or is it a bug?

Could you list the steps you are going through in detail?
I just tried stacking some images in the import window (from the HD not a card) and they came into the album as closed stacks containing all the images. Doesn't stop it being a bug on your installation, of course, just that it doesn't reproduce on my machine.

IPhone iOS 7 Music Playlist and Album Cover Problems

I have had problems with my iPhone 4 ever since the iOS 7 update, especially with music. I have tried making playlists for my music from my mac and syncing it with my phone and the playlists never sync correctly. I then tried it the other way and created the playlists on my phone and tried syncing it but it still doen't sync correctly. Another problem that may or may not be connected to this issue is that the pictures of the albums in my music, videos, and movies are all switched around between eachother and none of them are correct.

Very many thanks for a super fast and effective solution.
Music has gone but I am still left (in Music) with an unselected music video. How do I rid myself of that?
Your support is much appreciated.
Thank you

You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

Zen Vision: M problem with Album Cov

I've read a lot of intructions on these boards about dragging the album cover into the generic icon (after I select "View" and "Albums" in the Media Explorer. Thing is, when I try to drag a picture nothing happens. Next thing I try is to manually copy and paste the album cover into the same generic grey icon and it says that it won't allow it to be viewed in my device and asks me if I just want to drop it in the folder (which does no good). Anyone else solve this problem in the past? Do I have to use a certain type of image file type? I'm using jpgs.
Please help me.
?Also, I am using Windows Vista 32-bit Premium Home Edition. Thanks in advance. I really want my album covers to work, it will be so cool.

I found the easiest way is to do it in Creative Media Source 5, highlight all the tracks in the album you want to apply art to, right click, go to "edit properties", click on the last entry on the bottom, "change album art" and assign the JPG of your choice, then update tags and the album art will show on your player, it has worked 00% for me so far.

I have iphoto 08 version 7.1.5. I copied photos from recent - last import into albums. I then deleted the photos and emptied the trash. Today all the albums are empty and the photos are nowhere in the library. Have I lost them all?

OK, here are a set of screenshots with my step by step - maybe you will be able to spot where I've gone awry:
I find a photo in the Library that I will delete from an album:
I go down to my Albums and find the picture in one of them:
I hover over the pic so the little down arrow appears in the bottom right-hand corner. I click on it, then click on the Trash Can in the window that drops down:

After I import an album, it appears in my music library. but not in the sync pane. Where is it?

After I import an album, it appears in the music library. But then does not appear in the sync pane. Sometimes, other albums will not appear. Why and how do I fix this?

I have this issue also. Lots of fancy features from Apple, but can't get the basics right - should be able to sync an album.

Re-importing library & Problems

Hi all,
First time writing to the iPhoto board. How y'all doin?
History:
I exported my original iphoto library from my ibook to an external HD (holding down the option button and since then I've bought an intel imac.
What happened:
I've tried importing my library "File">"Import Library" (I have over 12,000 pics) to my imac but it only organized it by year 2004, 2005 and forgot my albums, their names, the way they were put and placed.
Question:
Can I import my library from the ext. HD to my imac and have it match the external drive exactly???
btw... I have the newest iphoto (if that helps)

I exported my original iphoto library from my ibook to an external HD (holding down the option butto
Do you mean to say you copied the entire iPhoto Library folder over the the external HD via the Finder? If so, you only need to copy that folder back to the Pictures folder on your new Mac and launch iPhoto. No need to import into a new library from the folder on the HD. All you'll get that way are photos in the library, no albums, keywords, etc.

Importing album cover art

Hello
It is a mystery to me why iTunes cannot import some album art and can others, where album covers for items as common as Abbey Road or something by Radiohead, aren't found. How do I import cover art from, say, Amazon? I see one can "copy image" from Amazon but I'm totally unclear as to how to load into iTunes. Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

If iTunes doesn't find album art automatically, it either means that your tags don't match theirs exactly, or there's an error in their database. When that happens, just Get Info on the songs you want to add album art to, and drag any JPEG (some other formats work as well) to the blank Album Art panel. You can find album art online at Amazon, Wikipedia, or just via a Google Images search.

Importing album folders problem

Hi. Why when I drag or import an album folder already stored on a hard drive into iTunes. iTunes then lists each track of that album as individual albums

I figured out the problem. Next to the Magnifying Glass in the thumbnail browser is another small magnifying icon for the search filters. Under the search filter I had a photo name in the search that I had not deleted. Once I deleted the name from that it showed all of the photos in the album. It was only showing the "searched" photo.
Thanks for your help!
